The release date of January 8 coincides with Bowie's 69th birthday
 
JAMES HENDICOTT, 24TH OCTOBER 2015
 
David Bowie has revealed details of his 25th studio album, which will be called 'Blackstar', and is expected on his 69th birthday, January 8 (2016).
 
The Times has reported details of the new release today (October 24), with the paper describing the work as possibly his "oddest yet" and "completely bonkers". German electro pioneers Kraftwerk are referenced as a point of comparison, along with jazz influences.
 
2013 release 'The Next Day' marked Bowie's return after a ten-year recording absence, while he recently released new music in the form of a TV theme, for the show 'The Last Panthers'. The track used on 'The Last Panthers' will become the lead single. 
 
The 45-minute album 'Blackstar' will contain just seven tracks, and was recorded at The Magic Shop in New York City with a group of jazz musicians.
 
The title track will have a running time of ten minutes, and The Times reports that Bowie will decline to provide a radio edit, instead presenting the single as 'all or nothing'. It contains "Gregorian chants, a soul section, various electronic beats and bleeps, and Bowie's distinctive vocal." The track will be released as the lead single from the album on November 19. 

 

It doesn't look likely that a tour will follow the album, however, as two weeks ago, it was reported that Bowie has "retired from touring".
 
Bowie has released a series of re-issues over the past year, including a large box set spanning 1969-1973 and a number of 7" singles in special edition. 
 
He is also co-writing a stage show based on 'The Man Who Fell To Earth', entitled Lazarus, which will feature Dexter star Michael C Hall and is also expected to contain new Bowie tracks.
 
Speaking of the musical, director Michel Vanhove described the new Bowie songs involved as follows:
 
"Some of the songs sound as if you have heard them forever – like classics... There are romantic songs – because his songs are deeply romantic – and there are songs about violence and the ugly world surrounding us. That's what these new songs are about."

It can now be confirmed that ‘Blackstar’ is the forthcoming single and album from David Bowie.
 
Contrary to inaccurate reporting on the sound and content of the album, only the following can be confirmed:
 
The single will be released on November 20th and is not part of David’s theatre piece ‘Lazarus’.
 
The album will be released on David’s birthday, January 8th 2016.

novi album jeff buckleya :isuse:

 

 

Long rumored to exist as the "Addabbo sessions", but previously unheard outside the studio, these seminal recordings are a fan's Holy Grail, a rare opportunity to hear Jeff Buckley in peak form, developing his artistry through a series of spellbinding solo performances, each one captured in pristine sonic detail.
Recently discovered in the Sony Music archives during the research for the 20th anniversary edition of Buckley's Grace album, the performances on You and I are a revelation, an intimate portrait of the artist performing a variety of cover songs and original music expressing a range of emotion channeled through his singular sensibility.
The songs on You and I reveal, in part, the eclectic scope of Jeff Buckley's extraordinary musical tastes and abilities. The covers on the album include Jeff's highly personal interpretations of songs written by Bob Dylan ("Just Like a Woman"); Sylvester Stewart ("Everyday People," recorded by Sly & the Family Stone); Joe Green ("Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'," recorded by Louis Jordan, Ray Charles and others); Bob Telson ("Calling You," recorded by Jevetta Steele for the 1987 film Bagdad Café); Morrissey and Johnny Marr ("The Boy with the Thorn in His Side" and "I Know It's Over," recorded by the Smiths); Booker T. Washington "Bukka" White ("Poor Boy Long Way from Home," from a 1939 "field" recording made by John Lomax) and John Paul Jones/Jimmy Page/Robert Plant ("Night Flight," recorded by Led Zeppelin).
Rounding out You and I are two pieces of original music: the first-ever studio recording of his signature song, "Grace" (which Buckley cowrote with Gary Lucas) and "Dream of You and I," a mysterious and haunting instrumental guitar piece which informs the deeply intimate and profoundly personal mood of the album.
These 10 tracks offer an incredible, rare glimpse of an artist, alone, in the sacred space that is the studio. There's an intimacy and an honesty to the performances that's literally breathtaking. You & I is an important addition to Jeff's recorded legacy and will be a thrill for both his devoted longtime fans and newcomers alike.
